Can you believe that it is back to school time? I can hardly believe that some kids are already back at school! We don’t ever start until after Labor Day around here, which is fine by me because I love having my kids home with me in the summer!

We are always looking for fun ways to get creative with before and after school snacks and one of my kids favorite treats are granola bars.

Now why spend all the money on the packaged ones when you can make even more addicting ones at home? And when I say addicting you guys I mean it.

My almost 5 year old daughter is one of the pickiest eaters I know, and after trying these granola bars (which was more or less she was starving and this is what I gave her) she just couldn’t stop eating them. Now that is really saying something.

These Funfetti Granola Bars are a fun, flavorful and colorful treat that all the kids can get behind. I’m not going to lie, these are ones I can get behind too because they aren’t just good for kids, it has been proven that adults are equally addicted.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE GRANOLA BARS?

With these granola bars you just need simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand!

See, how can a list that short seem hard? It’s truly not. Homemade Granola Bars are one recipe that we try to keep on hand all the time, and the beauty of this recipe is that you can switch it up and always add some other ingredients if you want something else.

You can add:

Chocolate chips

Raisins

Nuts

Dried fruit

Coconut

Chocolate candy

The list really goes on for all the mix in’s but the base recipe stays the same!

HOW DO YOU MAKE FUNFETTI GRANOLA BARS?

In a large bowl mix together your oats and rice cereal until combined.

In a large pan melt together your butter, honey and brown sugar until sugar dissolves

Pour melted mixture over your oat and cereal mixture and stir until everything is combined and then let cool slightly and then stir in sprinkles.

Press into a 9″x13″ Wilton baking pan lined with parchment paper (it makes the removal of the bars for cutting so much easier) and let cool for about 20-30 minutes to set up.

Melt your candy melts in microwave or double boiler until smooth and then drizzle on top of bars and sprinkle with some more sprinkles and let it hard.

Cut bars and devour.

This granola bar recipe truly is one of our favorite breakfast and after school snacks and I love how my kids never turn their noses up when I offer them these.

They are sweet but not too sweet, chewy which are the best kind of granola bar recipe in my opinion and just an all around great grab and go snack that will keep the kids going all day!
